More Muscle Mass = More Fat Burning While Sleeping
Did You Know?
Did you know having more muscle mass will help you burn more calories while resting?
The more muscle mass you have, the more fat your body burns while resting.
During sleep, your body continues to require energy for essential functions such as breathing, circulating blood, repairing tissues, and regulating temperature. Because you haven’t eaten for several hours, insulin levels drop, which signals your body to break down stored fat for energy. Fat cells release fatty acids into the bloodstream, which muscles and organs use as fuel, making fat the primary energy source during most of the night (Science Insights)
